From the distant echoing bells starting the first track we are transported in a ritual ancient site of exquisite oblivion ,while travelling to other parallels TQTR with this tape brings us to new dimensions of fears and pleasures.

The cover sleeve is an archive picture of the Self Flaggellation Christians in Guardia Sanframondi, a small village close to Benevento,this is a rite happening every 7 years.The label is the amazing Biotope Art Organization label based in fact in Benevento during the 80s before moving to London.I am a big fan of this band since long time and I love this tape. Enjoy it.~f~a~r~a~w~a~y~click me

Factor X was one of
Shaun Robert's pseudonyms/projects/aliases.
Factor X was founded by Shaun in 1983 as a conceptual idea.The first
output was anti musik and then moved to rough collage.Factor X ended in
1994.

Shaun
Robert (b. 1966, Brixham, Devon, England) started recording and making
music since the age of 8 using tape machines by utilizing the
pause button, crash editing sounds together.This was not seen as form
of art, more of a way to understand and adapt the world around him.
Using a catalogue of pseudonyms to do various projects, these creative
outings became more and more like imaginary friends, colouring things
with a rainbow of the mind’s eye.

Ataraxia is an ItalianneoclassicalGoth opera[1]
band who combine modern technology with archaic instrumentation over
various media. They describe their music as a cross "between sacred and profane, ethereal and neo-classical, contemporary and early music".
They make researches into the European legends crossing the Greek and
Latin myths. Their lyrics are written in many ancient and contemporary
languages. Many of their performances take place in locations the band
believes to possess specific spiritual qualities. Since the beginning of
the group in the late 1980s, they have released more than 20 original
LPs.(from wikipedia)

Nucleo Recupero Cadaveri was a project formed in Italy (I suppose they
were from Pesaro, but I am not 100% sure) I saw them live at the Meeting Anticlericale (Anticlergy meeting/festival) in Fano in 1993. They were 3 people on the stage playing a kind of crazy electronics with
yelled vocals shouting statements against the ruling society and all it
comes with: (prisons/madhouses/taxes/clergy/religions/sexual taboos...).

This
is their first tape (as far as I know). It is a C30 coming inside a
black carton paper box with a little book containing some weird prose
and poetry. It was completely diy and sold in the alternative channel of
anarchist distros.

"According to bandmembers the name comes from a populist 50ties Hollywood movie. The female ‘sexbomb’ drops the line “oh’ dev”.Oh’Dev
basic line up was Ruud – drums, Andre (Meer Staal) – guitar and Dirk –
Bas. It could be that Dirk was not always in the band, but he played on
the Limbabwe recordings. Vocalist could change. In the downloads below
two different vocalists are mentioned: Harry (also guitar) and Hans.The
music is a kind of ‘noise-rock’ strongly influenced by Sonic Youth,
Scratch Acid and such. Mostly I like bands in the style a-la Oh’Dev, but
somehow I never seem to be able listening through a full release of
them. After two songs it starts to bore me and I loose interest. Andre’s
guitar playing is based on no skills (he cannot play for real).
Although creative in Meer Staal with percussion and vocals, on guitar he
seems to be limited and the noise becomes an assembled repeating
structure that loses attention after 5 minutes. Funny anecdote to this
is that Andre called himself after the guitar he played: ‘King Zolo’. A
cheap piece of crap dumped by Sonic Youth.Both vocalists didn’t manage to capture the listeners either.Oh’Dev
tried to ‘make’ it. They took every gig offered. Manage to do a few
shows abroad and released more records on other, lesser underground than
Limbabwe, indie labels. Despite what members try to make us believe
nowadays, they never achieved a status in fame and creativity like some
other Limbabwe bands (Meer Staal, Pandemonium,….). Non of their releases
sold for real. The band float(s) well on smooth bizznix talk from the
drummer."This is taken from the official webpage of Limbabwe Records,where you`ll find also their other albums as free downloads and lots of other interesting bands,please go here.Enjoy it.~f~a~r~a~w~a*y^click me

Another issue of Karta Zine, published by Bartek Nowak,who was also managing a mail art archive in the 90s.I posted another one here,in this issue lots of mail art invitations,flyers and few articles in polish and english about Mediterrenean Congresss of Mail Art,against the celebration of the american continet,ecology and the Network Congress of 1992,there is also a contribution by Vittore Baroni.

An excellent fanzine of mail Art and other issues.Enjoy it.*f*a*r*a*w~a*y*click me

[[[notes from ((F@R@W@Y))]]" -the tape was distributed by SIN ORG a quite famous distro/label of
industrial music back in the 90s in Italy, run by Gianfranco Santoro who
was also doing a fanzine.
-the a side was recorded live in a social squatted center in
Rovereto(northen Italy)-this squat was a very famous anarchist squat
back in the 90s.
-the second side appears to be 2 separate tracks although it's listed as
only one track-I separated the tracks as there was a very long silence
in between, and I titled them part 1 and part 2- I think the only one
who knows the truth is the musician: Devis G."
Il Morto [thee dead] - tis brilliant shimmering ambiance with strange
eruptions ov analog synthesizer work!! vocoded incantations, minimally
clanging drum sequencing, and vibraphone-type synthesis are interspersed
in this great live recording in which conversations occasionally appear
from those who were witnessing thee spectacle in this appropriated
venue..
Da`ath [believe this title tis a play on thee word death] - More great shimmering occult atmospheric sonorism!!
Luna Anale [anal moon] - tis an Italian priest giving a sermon about
rock music and satanism, and about other priests finding out about rock
records having subliminal satanic messages..
Soundtrack For The Titles Of The Journey Of The Soul From Death To Rebirth
Part 1 - one may think here ov thee coiled serpent ov thee kundalini;
as thee astonishing synthesis rises from thee base ov thee spine
[Sushumna] to top of the head merging with the sahasrara, or crown
chakra.. Thee arousing of kundalini tis said to be thee one and only way
towards thee realisation ov gnosis or divine wisdom..
Part 2 - wavering analog synthesis with a slow and elusive melodic line
is soon met with excellent tabla accompaniment for what tis assumed here
to be thee rapresentaion ov thee rebirth ov thee soul...

Track listing:
A1 Il Morto
A2 Da'ath
A3 Luna Anale
B1 Soundtrack For The Titles Of The Journey Of The Soul From Death To Rebirth

A band which I don`t know much about it and I cannot even remember how and when It ended up in my tape-collection.A trio playing a kind of hypnotic noise rock with some trumpets and weird vocals,I guess they are Dutch but I am not even sure about this.Somehow their music remind me some stuff of The Ex and Captain Beefheart!!A nice tape of weird noisy rock,it`s just a pity my tape is a bit ruined in the beginning.A discogs page about them is here yet there is no info about them or about this Dutch label.If you know more about them and you are reading this post please leave a comment to let me know more.Enjoy it.~f~a~r~a~w~a*y*

ZBUA is the solo project of Suzuki Shunya of Tsuruoka, Japan.
According to the artist, the intention of this abbreviated name is to
say "I'm an example of non-personality". Suzuki also published an
industrial fanzine by the name of IR, which published at least two
issues. His current activities are unknown.

This tape came out as an edition of 100 hand-numbered copies folded into a photographic print with printed transparencies attached.

The label is the amazing Sounds For Consciousness Rape,defunct French label active in the early '90s in the
industrial/noise area and well-known for its limited edition releases.

"This tape was recorded in August 1997 in the practise room of the Ex-C.I.M.
squat in Foggia. Few people took part in the recording of this tape.
There were Simona and Stefano on the didgeridoos, Grillo playing guitar,
Francesco on percussion, and Mini on drum machine + Raffaele
manipulating mixing desk, effects pedals, & microphones: alternating
the sound of the various instruments. It was a long jam session that
got re-eleborated by Raff a few months after in another southern Italian
town with the use of a 4 track-recorder. Eventually Raff worked on the
cover sleeve, and then sent all the package to EE Tapes in Belgium. This
label released the tape eventually in February 1998 in a limited
edition of 69 hand-numbered copies. By many people it is believed to be
one of the nicest and most complete tapes by this ghostly collective. For a full info-flyer of the collective E.A.: you`ll
find included in this folder an e-flyer telling almost all the
activities developed by this ghost project during the 90s.For this project E.A stands for Energia Astrale,this means Astral Energy"

This is the same review published to Vita

Ignes Corpus Lignum blog.

I already posted quite few tapes,videos and zines by this ghost collective.

Amazing compilation tape released by Noize label in Taiwan in 1995 as a
double cassette C60 and a nice booklet,all coming in special folder made
of silver hardpaper. Lots of bands took part in this project: Hex
Minora, Bastard Noise, Synapscape, Cock ESP ,Herb Mullin, Stigma and
many more. This compilation covers the sound area of abstract -ambient
,noise, and experimental electronic music of the mid 90s.

It is a
very fine production coming with a booklet filled with graphix/pictures
and info about the bands involved .

Notice to the readers of this blog and all the artists.

After 3 years of active collaboration with 3 different blogs(radiomolotov,misterioso impossivel,vita ignes corpus lignum) I decided to open my own blog.

My aim is to talk about obscure and rare productions which I accomulated in my personal collection.Some stuff is mine,some other produced by good friends of mine,some other by bands/artists whom I do not know by person.I am only posting here very old stuff that it`s not available now days.

If you are one of those artists and you are not happy to see your tape here then send me a shout and I will remove it as soon as possible.My aim is to get out there this old music that is otherwise forgotten.

If one day I will post some new productions it means that those productions will be by friends of mine whom gave me permission to do so.

Also I will post some of my music or copy art-works,zines,videos and the like!!In future I might re-post some stuff that I donated to the blogs listed above,after all some is my music and all of them are my original rips.

Any questions about my activities here?? Please use the shout box to chat with me.
